@ those clamoring for a break

If you think that Arewa will survive for 1 year you need to think again. There are many tribes in the Arewa region and i tell you Southern sudan will be boyscout compared to Arewa.

The true Hausas Know themselves. The refugees you will find in states that will emerge will be so much. I even foresee that Niger delta will be overrun by numerous crisis. As a young man I was brainwashed with the thinking that Hausas never contributed anything to Nigeria. I see reason now why God made Nigeria.

The problem is not with Muslims or Hausa. The problem is with the Civilisation that comes out from the quran. The Northern people are the greatest followers. Our governors have failed to establish a true state. we still think we live in a UNITARY STATE. There are Islamic state that are secular and one of note is Turkey but it is fighting tooth and nail.

NIGERIA NEEDS FOLLOWER CITIZENS. NIGERIA MUST COME FIRST .

WE JUST NEED 10 MILLION NIGERIANS TO MOVE NIGERIANS FORWARD. WE don't NEED SO MUCH JUST A DEDICATE FEW.

THE SAME DEDICATED FEW THAT HAVE ACCESS TO MEDIA AND KEEP REPEATING THERE IS NO HOPE FOR US AS A NATION. MY ONLY PROBLEM WITH OBJ WAS THAT HE SHOULD HAVE RECRUITED 4 MILLION RIBADUS ACROSS NATION. HE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THEM FROM 14 YEAR 15 YEAR OLD DOWNWARDS.

BY THE TIME OBJ WAS LEAVING OFFICE THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN 22YEARS - 23YEARS. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT YAR ADUA CAN DO THIS NOW.

What ever the case may be, culture matters most than religion, I am sure Yoruba Muslims will not start attacking Yoruba Christians or the reverse.

IBB will not even look at the North, what they are after was Oil Money, and North has not Oil now, so he will not even mind to become a President or Prime Minister of Arewa. It will be left with the masses of the Nation to decide the best.

Are you forgetting there are other mineral resources other than oil and most of these minerals can be found in the north.   Trust me, IBB and Co will be very interested in ruling Arewa, Nigeria, and if they could have their way Biafra.  And when  did the masses start making an impact on who wins an election in Naija?  Unless the masses decide to revolt I don't see them making any impact whether na Arewa, Biafra.

@ Auwal

I am a muslim from the south and when you say "Christian South" i find it wrong. The western media keeps saying this phrase as well. Yes if you said Christian South east or south south but not the South West. The youbas have at least 18 million muslims from the 30 million Yoruba nation. Oyo state is strongly muslim, Ogun state as well with Ijebu ode, Egba, Yewa All having strong muslims enclaves dating back to the 19 century and before the missionaries came in. In Osun state there is hardly anyone originally from Oshogbo that is not muslim not to talk of Ede, Ife and Ilesha though have a large Christian population. Ekiti state I can say has a larger Christian population with Ondo state as well but Akure still has a strong muslim population. In Lagos where I am from the core indegines of Lagos in Isale eko are predominantly muslims and Islams presence dates back before the missionaries came in.

Going back to the Arewa republic, Would Kwara, Benue, Taraba , Kogi and Plateau be part of this republic?

If Nigeria breaks would Cross River and Akwa Ibom be part of Biafra? Or they would go with south south (No name yet for niger delta republic)

If the Niger Deltans go would Edo state be part of this? The Niger Delta is also filled with ethnic rivalries between Ijaw, Urhobo, Istekiri . Not forgetting the war in Delta state between tribes because of local government.

The Odua might just be only homogenous republic out of this break up because Yoruba nation is one ethnicity and possibly Biafra if it is just the Igbo people.

Honestly I believe in One Nigeria but with a decentralised system of govt. The Center should be made weak and governance rested on states or regions. A larger nation is a potentially stronger nation and India and China are rising powers due to their population. Nigeria as it is not working because true federalism is not practised. The south south has been underdeveloped but the south south should look inwards to the insensitivity of their leaders. The north acknowledges the fact that their leaders have failed them and the sooner the Niger Deltans accepts this reality the better.

Breaking up on ethnic differences is not a solution as the North orth would still face ethnic problems so as Niger delta. The Yoruba would also face tribal problem. The sooner we learn to live and manage our diversity the better.

For Nigeria to work well though true federalism or Unitary system of governance has to be adopted

Nigeria was amalgamated in 1914 by the British, before the amalgamation there were two separate nations, the Northern and Southern Nigeria. It was made to serve the purpose of the Colonialist for trade which shaped Nigeria to what it is now. But the system is simply not working after 48 years of getting independence in the 1960.

The Northern and Southern Nigeria are most of the times crisis, a war was fought in the 70s which the South East of Nigeria fought for the separation of their region from the cancer called Nigeria which exists till today.

The simple fact is, Nigeria is not ONE, and can never be forced to be ONE, in order to enjoin a lasting solution to the current Nigeria's instabilities, Nigeria needs to be divided.

Therefore, we seek petition for the creation of the following out of Nigeria;

1. Arewa Republic [Northern Nigeria]
2. Biafra Republic [South Eastern Nigeria]
3. Nigeria [Middlebelt Region]
4. Odua Republic [South Western Nigeria]

We urge the United Nations, the African Union, and the current Nigerian Government to urgently separate the country peacefully, and let each region have full autonomy over its resources.

This is for the benefit of our Future Generations, if we leave Nigeria in the current setup, it will end up in a very chaotic and bad situation, and will hardly become part of the developed countries in thousands years to come.

Let us forget about the mistake of 1914, let us correct this mistake in 2009.

Happy New Year to you All!
